BirdFontNonCommercial
BirdFontNonCommercial is a font editor for macOS that helps users draw glyphs and build custom typefaces in common font formats.
What is BirdFontNonCommercial?
BirdFontNonCommercial is a graphics and design app for creating and editing fonts on macOS. It is aimed at type designers, illustrators, and hobbyists who want to draw glyphs, adjust spacing, and export working font files for use in other apps. BirdFont supports vector-based editing and can save projects to several common font formats, making it useful for building custom alphabets, icon fonts, and experimental lettering. It also supports both monochrome and color font workflows, which broadens the kinds of type projects users can create. Users will typically encounter it as a dedicated desktop tool for font production rather than a general illustration app. BirdFont is developed by Johan Mattsson.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This is a legitimate font-design application. It normally needs access to files you open or save so you can work on font projects and export finished fonts. That kind of file access is expected for a desktop font editor. As with any creative tool, keep backups of important projects before making major edits or removing the app if you still need its saved work.
Recommendation: Keep BirdFontNonCommercial if you create or edit fonts on this Mac. If you no longer use it, removing it is usually fine, but save or back up any font projects you want to keep first.
